Information & Ethics committee  I'll raise maybe one last aspect.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you very much. I will also focus first on Facebook. It's great to get to know the Canadian public policy team. I know the German public policy team.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I would like to start with Jim Balsillie. You mentioned in one of your six recommendations the question of taxation.
